One of the dead give-aways for issues with the lower pivot shaft issues is the a arm having any movement at all on the lower upright. If it moves at all, one of the support shells are likely badly worn or broken . In my case there was two indicators - The wheel could move laterally a few millimeters on the lower shaft, and if the lower shaft bolts were removed neither shaft would rotate. One was locked inside the upright - the other was seized in the a arm pivot. There was no possible insertion or extraction possible on the shaft .All bad signs and indicators a repair is required and soon.
